Furious Females: Women's Writing as an Archive of Anger
… irrational emotional response. As a result, the alternative functions to women’s anger remain largely unexplored. Working against binary logic, this dissertation aims to reframe this debate, and answer the following questions: what are the alternative functions for women’s anger outside of the …

Apobec1-Mediated RNA Editing in Monocytes Contributes to Genetic Heterogeneity and Modulates Monocyte Activity and Development
<p>Post-transcriptional modifications such as alternative splicing have been shown to add to the complexity needed to compensate for the relatively low number of genes found in higher organisms. Many other modifications recently found in mRNA, which cannot be deduced from what is coded in the …

lncRNA RPPH1 in melanoma: novel functions as cargo of tumor-derived Extracellular Vesicles
… partners in melanoma revealed potential novel functions for this lncRNA beyond its canonical role in the RNase P complex, particularly in RNA metabolism. These findings suggest that such alternative functions may contribute to its selective encapsulation within EVs. Using both human and …

Anaerobic, NADH-Dependent Haem Breakdown in a Family of Haemoproteins
… by ChuS and ShuS may be limited by competing functions. Bioinformatics was used to gauge what these possible alternative functions could be, and to place HemS within its wider phylogenetic context. The computational predictions were then tested in the laboratory. The three homologues were all …

Environmental sensing and response of conserved RNA-processing machines to specific external chemical cues
… are multi-subunit and homologs retain similar functions in all three domains of life. The ribosome is the translational machinery of the cell, whose primary function is to translate the genetic code from mRNA to protein; however, it also maintains the capacity to respond to small molecule …

Characterization of ammoniumtransporters in Arabidopsis thaliana
… were not sufficient to assign physiological functions to the individual transporters and AMT1.4 and AMT1.5 had not been studied prior to this thesis. Given this background, it was considered desirable to acquire a deeper knowledge of the physiological functions of the six Arabidopsis ammonium …
